Homemade vapor rub with Essential Oils

My daughter has issues breathing sometimes. Here in El Paso it is very often windy which means there is a lot of dust in the air. When this happens she easily gets congested and then has issues sleeping at night. In addition to that both of my kids have croupy sounding coughs, and the doctor says not to worry. My hubby loves the Vicks Vapor Rub products, but I'm not a big fan of their smell and I'm always worried that it might be turning their lungs black. I wanted to find an alternative to use. Something that works, is safe for the entire family and much more natural. Yes, Pinterest is my friend: I found exactly what I was looking for there.

doTerra Essential Oils are a safe and natural alternative that can be tried to assist with some health issues. They smell very fresh, and they are safe for everyone. Some oils may need to be diluted before application, but they are still safe.

For the vapor cream you will need the following:

4oz container
coconut oil
20 drops of breathe essential oil

This will need to be stored in a jar with a lid. I used the smaller mason jars

Really simple: just put the coconut oil into the jar add the essential oils and mix. I used 4oz of the coconut oil.

Apply to chest. For my kids I have been applying liberally to their chest and their back and just a trace along the nose.

They sleep very well at night, less coughing, if any at all, and I use it in the morning when they wake up. The powerful smell of the over the counter run isn't there, breathe has a very fresh scent.




I purchased my coconut oil at Walmart
